Not particularly deep, but fun. The four styles that Ms. Tobias discusses are a little different from most, and worth the read if your child isn't fitting into the "schoolish" mold.

A great introduction to learning styles with examples of how to apply what is being explained. I'm bit concerned about the shallow explanations of the research and to me simplistic groupings. Perhaps that is all to the better though for the purposes of this book.
